The world is big enough
This was one of the most beautiful pictures I ever ran across.
The baby is so beautiful (masha'Allah). The position in which the baby is, looks as if he/she is still in his/her mother's womb.
Also, the way the man is holding the baby portrays so much tenderness, protection and care.
It is beautiful and holds so many meanings in it.
One thing I see, is black and white can mingle with no barriers.
The world is big enough for everyone. No matter what color people are, they can and should be tender towards one another, they can and should protect one another, and they can and should care for one another.

ah dalulla, the baby.. so adorable. and so small. yes, the world is big enough indeed, but some people's hearts abviously are not.
love the picure, and your post.
True..the heart is the issue. If it is good all is well, if not, all goes wrong!
Glad u liked the pic and the post :-)
So true ya Dallula... but it's sad when you look at the world now..
I really like this verse from Surat el Hujurat
" O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! The noblest of you, in the sight of Allah is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower,Aware."
(translation from Picktahll)
It is sad because many people abandoned the essences of Islamic teachings specially on the human to human basic conducts of attitude. But believe me we have reason to be optimists. Allah and His prophet informed us of so much that should give us hope.
But I understand where u r coming from. The current state of the world calls for sadness, and that exactly is what satan and those with weak faith or no faith alone want. The more reason for us not to become frail. This is the time when all of us should unite to become stronger and happier. We must spread hope and encourage for it, we must all let go of negative attitude and develop everything positive, specially on family ties basis.
The verse is beautifu, amongst many others as well ofcourse. But I was jus wondering (off topic) if this Lo has a meaning.
Thank u for bringing this verse up because it is mainly what I was talking about. If you are not married yet, make sure that whoever you will marry loves God, because when they do, they will truly make you happy. Trust me on this one :-)
Good to have you here!
Thanks ya Dallula
Hope you didn't get the impression I was a pessimist! ;-) On the contrary, I'm always smiley and I try my best to see the positive side of things!
El7amdulilah there is still a lot of "kheir" and during the short period I spent here in Egypt .. it proved to be true ...
"Lo" means "Inna".. read the aya in Arabic and you'll be able to see it.. it's the 13th.. wAllaho a3lam
:-)
Me,
Not at all :-) WE all just need to be encourageing anyway .. Being Optimistic and having someone with optimism makes you or anyone even more and more optimistic.. Ongoing good feelings should always be backed up continuosly..to keep them going on that is.
I know the verse ya gameel ..thank you for your kind gesture.. And thanks for telling me the meaning of Lo.. Wa minkom nastafeed.. I enjoy learning :-D
Again, good to have u here, now and any time!
White children are born with no racist thoughts, they point at a black mother or father at the age of two and say Daddy and Mommy.
Amazing how society ruins the beautiful nature of children.
twosret,
It is really so true, the part about the chikdren and the parents...
Arrogance is one big source of evil.. it dragged certain people to not think, but to believe their blood is "cleaner" and "genes" are superior to others just because of the color of the skin!
Society played an important role, with the help of Satan's endless whispers and the weak self (al nafs al amara bel sou2, we call it). We Moslems are told in a verse and interpretations from the Quraan that it was the first sin.
I know it contradicts the one you have in the bible, but regardless (don't mean any disrespect or any thing), when u think of it, arrogance is one major problem. It creates so much apathy in one's heart to begin with and then drags a whole lot of other sins with it which in turn play a great role in the creation of apathies amongst human beings! even amongst brother like cane and abel (Habeel wa kabeel).
Actually it was refusal and arrogance, not just arrogance alone!
Dalulla,
Agree with you. I don't take offense in any religion that contradicts the bible. All is good here.
Wallahi ya Dalulla Rabana Yekamelk b3a2lek and your extreme Sabr.
Twosret..
Rabena yekremek ya 7abebty..glad to hear that. I hope u do not mind me twosret, but most of what i say or try to do is inspired from religious belief and from the practices of Prophet Muhamed (Allahoma Saly 3aleih and all the prophets). Sabr was one of the traits prophet Muhammed always stressed on so much, also in the Quraan the same. WE are told that sabr leads to so much good at the end. From experience, sabr especialy at times of ill doings by others is rewarded greatly. Can and may even change people to totally different individuals. It happened with me. At a time i was going through a very difficult phase, and i lived with my aunt for a while. she was so patient and loving with me to an unbelievable extent. This patience redirected me so much. It gave me hope there are loving people in life after i had been feeling so alone and pressured by the closest people to me in life. It even made me become so tolerent with those who hurt me at that specific period of life. and also prophet Muhammed told us that we should always try to give people pardon (iltames le2ákhak bed3an wa sab3oun outhr).. Maybe they are going through a bad phase, or whatever, etc.. but what we must do is always try to change the things we feel might break others or destroy their lives. Try to give advise ya3ni. But even that has conditions..If u are giving advise and not applying it then it is just not right.. YOu must be able to first correct yourself and then be in a position of doing so.. We must begin with ourselves first ya3ni.
I want to tell u that u are one of the sweetest people i came across. I am so glad this blogging business is getting people together in harmony ya twosret. By the way, why don't u have a blog of your own?
Dalulla,
Thank you for your kind words. My best friends that I left behind in Egypt since childhood are muslims. I have one that sounds very much like you, we used to study together and she always prayed in my house. When troubled her mom will pray for me.
They came to the US to attend my wedding and I forced the church to accept their presence in my bridal party at the alter. Orthodox church is kind of strict you know.
I have nothing but fond memories of muslims. I can tell that your maturity stems from a rich experience.
I would love to have a blog but worried about not being able to keep up. I have two very young baby girls that needs mommy for most of the day. I can only comment when they sleep or when the younger one is up all night.
You delve into very challenging topics and I salute your insight. As long as you keep your peace I think you are doing a great job.
